Clinical Epidemiology for The Veterinarian

Description

Epidemiology studies the distribution and determinants of health-related states or occurrences (including disease) and applies this knowledge to disease control. In order to conduct epidemiological investigations, various techniques can be utilized, including surveillance, descriptive, and analytical studies to examine distribution and determinants. Veterinary epidemiology plays a crucial role in many major global concerns involving disease control, food security, and climate change. This edition focuses on gaining a deeper understanding of epidemiology and serves as an example of how a better ability to comprehend and evaluate the available research ultimately improves patient care. The book includes diagrams, charts, and illustrations of how epidemiology is used in clinical settings. Additionally, it contains a broader range of global research, hypothesis testing, survey design, sampling, and epidemiologic ideas associated with applying for evidence-based medicine. To effectively treat animal patients, medical literature must be understood, evaluated critically, and used. This book helps veterinarians and researchers comprehend, evaluate, and use animal medical literature.
